Went to put the girls to bed. Hens all filed into the coop as usual. But....wait! No Skinny Iris to be found! 20 minutes of running around trying to find her. I was panicking. Until something caught my eye. There she was....sitting on top of the garage just watching me freaking out. Little snot! She flew down for some BOSS.

Your right....always felt RP's could be weirdos. Proved myself right!!

Romeo! I just love that! Try to get more pics!! Hes always been a special guy. But never thought he could qualify for daddy of the year. Get good pics and hang onto them for one of the mini-contests....like the broody contest! That would be hysterical. They need a contest for best daddy bird around Fathers Day!! LOL!

I'm still proud of how we represented our birds in those mini-contests! And the attention the turkey folks got!!

Was escorting the girls to bed. All was good. Marigold was hanging back. Then she plopped down right in front of the coop door & wouldn't move. Sat there giving me side eye. I had to scoop her up to get her in the coop. She's an arm full! Two arms actually. Of course I used the opportunity to hug on her. She wasn't overly impressed. Too bad birdy girl!! LOL!

Boy are my girls lazy bums!! Warm & sunny today....chickens are busy foraging! The turkeys are all sprawled in the sun. Hey....why go grazing when you get three squares served daily? Just lay around on your fat bums! To be honest there isn't a ton to graze, but we are getting seasonal weeds coming up. They do get up & stroll about the yard a bit...but not much. I'll be gardening tomorrow. That will get them moving!!

I love them too. They are like little balls of sunshine. Blooms just when I've had enough winter. Cheery. I love snipping some for the house.

Nemo....cute name. Sorry about the others.

Yeah....lilacs! Just love the smell! We can't grow them here. But at my house in Missouri, that was one of the first things I planted. Had to look some for an old variety. Most of the newer hybrids don't have that great smell.

Anybody watching the super bowl? I'm in it for the commercials. Don't really care who wins. Going down the street for a neighborhood party. I guess I'm in it for the food too. Daisy wanted to go to the party. Its past her bedtime.
